The problem with South Today is that the former Oxford sub-region is proportionately a lot smaller to the South region (just under 20% of the region's population) than the Cambridge sub-region was to the East region (around 60%) - so even purely on chance it'll be more difficult for Oxford stories to get prominence. That said, it's obviously important to South Today to at least look like they are trying to integrate the former sub-region.
They managed to squeeze in pictures from a Christmas lights tractor festival in Oxford with music after the weather but it all seems tokenistic.
The Meridian bulletin at least keeps their 15 minute sub-opt segment before joining the rest of the patch but the feeling I'm getting from the pan-regional ST is that if you want news, it's Meridian or nothing as we're not going to do much north of Reading.
